Participant Spotlight: SarahAnne Horne

Congratulations to SarahAnne on her selection as Participant of the Month for June 2018!  SarahAnne has been a member of The First Tee for 5 years, since she was 7 years old.  She lives in Mount Pleasant and currently attends Palmetto Christian Academy, where she is on the golf team. SarahAnne takes part in the Core Golf & Life Skills Program at Patriots Point Golf Links with Coach Wayne.  Last month, she successfully certified from the Par level to the Birdie level through our assessment process.  You can click here to read more about The First Tee assessment and certification process.  Her favorite part about group lessons with The First Tee are the “the chipping and putting games, they make learning about golf fun.  Riding the big golf cart together is something I like, too.” (fourth from left, top row) SarahAnne exemplifies each of the Nine Core Values, and her favorite is judgment.  “I have to use my own judgment to make decisions on the golf course.  When I first started, my coach helped choose what clubs I would use, but now I use judgment on what club to use by myself.” (far right, bottom row) She says that she most enjoys golf because, “I like to challenge myself.  Golf is a good sport for that.  Golf also helps me meet new people!”  In addition to her participation in Core Golf & Life Skills Programs through The First Tee, SarahAnne also attends our LPGA-USGA Girls Nights Out at Patriots Point and is also a member of The First Tee’s PGA Junior League team. (second from right, top row) Off the golf course, SarahAnne also enjoys basketball, reading, beach volleyball, and spending time with her dog.  If you see SarahAnne this month, please make sure you also wish her a happy birthday – she turned 13 on May 25th!
